Object type: TOY
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy minature cannon, similar to guns of the eighteenth century. The stepped trunions suggest the gun was intended to be mounted in a gun carriage, so possibly a copy of a naval gun. Many of these cannons were fired and are often found with exploded barrels from mis-fires. There are good parallels on the PAS database, SUSS-68AA74, YORYM-6A2D04, LANCUM-EC68C8 are similar. The length is 112mm, the thickness is 19mm and the width is 25mm. The gun dates sometime between c1650 and 1900AD, but probably more likely dating to the last half of eighteenth, or first half of the nine…

Object type: TOY
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy miniature cannon, similar to naval guns of the later nineteenth century. Originally it would probably have been mounted on either a gun carriage or wheels. There is some damage to the muzzle, probably due to an explosion when it was fairly new. Many of these cannons were fired and are often found with exploded barrels from mis-fires. There are good parallels on the PAS database, SUSS-494CB2 is nearly identical and LIN-8FE5B6, LANCUM-440420, IOW-8B08B7 are very similar. The length is 52mm, the thickness is 19mm and the width is 24mm. The gun dates sometime between c17…
